Each area placed on the map contains at least one side-quest within it, which upon completion rewards the player a new artifact, and so on. The game world is divided into a series of empty square plots of ground - from which there are 36 possible in total - and depending on the artifact which is placed on the plot, a different Land is generated on it. The selected area then becomes, for all purposes, the game's world. As such, Legend of Mana may be more accurately considered a side-story, or gaiden, to the series.Īfter the player chooses to play as either a male or female character and selects a starting weapon, the screen shifts to a world map, in which the player is asked to pick a square area as the game's play field. While Legend of Mana is generally regarded as the fourth installment in the series, the next console-based Seiken Densetsu game is titled Seiken Densetsu 4. Due to this fact the game is highly replayable there are also different difficulty levels to make the playthrough more challenging. Legend of Mana features three different plots which occur simultaneously, and which do not necessarily need to be completed for the player to finish the game. This creates a non-linear gameplay, since the game is driven by a series of what would be considered side-quests in other games. The player uses the artifacts to create different towns, dungeons, etc., called "Lands", to venture to and explore. Most notably, it gives the player the ability to shape the game's world according to his or her desires, a system which was incorporated through the use of "artifacts", which are won as the player progresses through the game. While incorporating elements from the three games which preceded it, Legend of Mana has its own distinct style of gameplay. Legend of Mana ( 聖剣伝説 LEGEND OF MANA, Seiken Densetsu LEGEND OF MANA ?) is the fourth game in the Seiken Densetsu series.
